Ok

Here is the first pull from the mold, Its a perfect copy of my metal mouth. This is in resin and very light. Gave a quick undercoat and dusting of aluminium paint to show the detail.

Thoughts??

If anyone is interested in one please let me know, $45 US plus shipping

I cant imagine the shipping will be expensive as it is small and light.

regards

Looks great. I'm definitely interested in one of these. Will you be casting a few in metal at some point?

That is awesome. I made a few casting in High School, but that seems to be a lost art these days. Can you make another sword, and how much? Maybe we can work out a trade? I have a screen used metal grill.

Love the aluminium sword! :loveit:

So if you're going to offer them here and they won't be too expensive consider me interested as well.

Hey! Yea, I'm interested in a metal sword as well. You might seriously think of starting an interest thread for the sword and the mouth grill. I'm seriously :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: :cylongold: interested in both.

Hi everyone, I can make the swords but don't get a whole bunch of time to play on hobbies as such. With busy family and work life doesn't leave me much time. I can make a couple of swords up over the next couple of weeks and then if anyone is interested I will post them on here. They cost me $120 to make. they would come in a sand cast finish and weigh in at just on 1 kilogram. the one in the pics I havnt polished at present, just have run the sander over it. I have a grille from my cylon suit that I can make a mould of. Its one of the suits from Bentley O'toole. Is this the correct grille? I will make up one and post some pics of the process to show what goes into them. They wouldn't be very costly as it is only a small mould. I am happy to help out anyone its just a time factor for me. I do cast up stuff in bronze aswell but it is quite heavy and works out costly due to that fact. I know its not for the purists but I have just today cast up the handle of a sword in brass and I am going to insert a polished aluminium blade in it just for something to put on display. Cheers Terry

That is a reasonable price for a sword and you can put me on the list for sure. :cylongold:
